Good story! What's a dichotomist?

Mycol Stevens is preparing to cook with his own farts. But before you scoff, let’s consider the genius in this. Why not break down human waste (which is abundantly available) to create a renewable energy source that is environmentally friendly?

Yup, this belongs in my Florida stash.

Cut it out.  :)   You have no problem with earth farts (methane).   I have no idea what a "dichotomist" is, but I can gather by context that it's a person with two characters:  brilliant scientist / crazy dude.  

I had forgotten about this guy. Definitely a Florida Man.

Is there no redemption for Florida Man?

Does not appear so: http://reddit.com/r/floridaman
